The present study seeks to investigate the synthesis and structural characteristics of derivatives of Indanone, Tetralone and Naphthone. Via Claisen condensations, arylhydrazine condensations, BakerVenkataraman rearrangements, Claisen-Schmidt reactions, selective fluorinations and trifluoroacetylations in yields ranging from 22-92 percent, indanone, tetralone and naphthone derivatives and fused-ring heterocycles were prepared. Regiochemistry and...
